Marked price of a commodity is 35% above the cost price. If he gives a discount of 15%, how much he gains on the deal.

• Let the cost price be 100. Therefore, the marked price is Rs 135. The discount of 15% on 135 = Rs 20.25. Therefore, the product is sold at Rs (135 - 20.25) = Rs 114.75.
  
  Hence, the profit percentage is 14.75 therefore ans: 14.75
